Question 17 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY
A sentence needs an independent clause that expresses a complete thought. Choice C begins with “Barack Obama, who won the presidential election in 2008 and was inaugurated in 2009,” but the “who” clause only describes Obama; it does not complete the sentence. The other choices each have a complete main clause, so C is the fragment.
